I was just wondering what the largest set of siblings was that anyone here has adopted? Right now was are waiting for our three to come home...if everything works out ok.
Hi,
I have an adopted 2 yr old that was here at birth. I just recently added two siblings to our family (still in process). They were here two months, when we found out that we were expecting a bio baby due in August. All of my kids are under the age of 2. I will have 4 under the age of barely three.
Good luck on your process. I think we are done at 4 in our family.

My husband and I have adopted 5 different sibling groups. The largest group we adopted was 4 siblings. 2 boys and 2 girls. Their ages at placement were 15, 13, 11 and 8. We adopted them 3 years ago and they are now 19,17,15 and 12. They all have adjusted very well and we have not had many issues to deal with. (except normal teenager issues) All our kids attend counseling with a wonderful attachment therapist and that has made a huge difference. We have adopted 15 kids all together. I am so glad to hear other families adopting siblings. Our kids have told us how important it was to them to be adopted with their siblings. It is not easy but WELL worth the effort.
but we were once considered for a sibling set of 4- a 4yo,3yo, 1yo and newborn.
Right now we have a foster/adopt placement of 3- a 4yo,2yo and 1yo. There are rumors that the bmom is pregnant and hiding it- entirely possible,but I'm not getting too excited yet. We have room for one or two more littles in our home and are willing to take any siblings born in the future .
wow- 15 adoptions! that's great! Do they all still live with you? I'm curious because here they limit us to 8 kids in the home (under 18), but I think there is a limit on how many total people in the home ,too... unless you have enough square footage for each person,and we'd have to put an addition on to accomplish that.
